摘要
The rabbit is gaining attention in the biotechnology field because it offers several advantages as a specific experimental model. Both wild and domestic rabbits exist. They are prey, browsers and ecosystem keystone species, and they also exhibit high production. Rabbit biotechnology is a branch of animal biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to modify living organisms and make products. The advances in biotechnology have created new applications in rabbit genetics. These applications have moved from measuring the phenotype to assessing the genotype and are now based on the science of genetic engineering. The novel aspect introduced by biotechnology is the modification of gene sequences that influence the traits of interest. This review integrates recent developments in biotechnology that influence traits of interest in rabbits.
